Jennie Llnd's voice has been
but memory, though grateful
one, for many years. A few days
ago her spirit also took ITS flight,
and the "Swedish Nightingale" is
now numbered among the dlstin-
guished dead of the year, 1887.
She was born in 1921, and was
consequently sixty SIX years of
age at the time of her decease. 1t
was about 1910 that the name of
Jenny Lind began to be known.
Her sweet voice was first heard in
this country ten years later, when
perhaps the greatest musical tri.
umph of history was achieved.
She considered her talent a gift
from God and to be used for God,
and the large proceeds other con-
cettsIwent mainly to the help Of
the afflicted. She retired early
from the stage aud has lived in
comparative retirement for a score

WE CAPTURE THE TRAIN.
The Andrews party were greatly crowd
ed in the large hotel at Marietta on Fri
day night, having to sleep three or four to
bed, but soldiers are not fastidious, and
the greater number slept soundly. We
had unbounded confidence in GU l""der,
whose part it was to provide for all con-
tingencies.
The names Of the men who reached Ma
rietta to take part in the railroad raid
were as follows:
James j. Andrews, leader of the expe-
dition and citizen of Kentucky.
The Second Ohio regiment contributed:
Marion A. Ross, Company A; George
ID. Wilson, Company b; William Pitten-
ger, Company G; Perry G. Shadrack,
Company X.
From the Twenty-frst Ohio regiment
were detailed:
Mark Wood, Company C; J. A. Wilson,
Company C; j. r. Porter, Company G.;
William Knight, Company E; Wilson +.
Brown, Company +; Wilson Bensinger,
Company G; Robert Buffum, Company
H; Z. III. Mason, Company K; John Scott,
Company X.
The Thirty-third Ohio supplied:
Martin j. Hawkins, Company A; Will
lam Reddich, Company B; John Wollam,
Company C; Samuel Robinson, Company
G; ID. A. Dorsey, Company H; Jacob
Parrott, Company K; Samuel Slavens.
William Campbell, also a member Of
the expedition, was o citizen of Ohio on q
visit to the camp, and managed to enlist
among the raiders.
Andrews scarcely slept at all that night.
He first went to the hotel and saw that
those who lodged there had made arrange
ments for being called on time in the morn
ing. Porter and Hawkins, who had come
down the evening before, and had gone to
bed much earlier, were not seen, and as
they had not paid the waiter any fee for
rousing them early, they were left behind;
a diminution of our force much regretted,
as they were both brave men and Hawkins
was an experienced engineer. This left
us but nineteen men in addition to the
leader.
We were all reused promptly at the
railroad hotel a little before daybreak.
Andrews, who came back to us, now went
from room to room while we were dress
ing, seeing every man, giving him exact
orders as to his part in the work of the
morning. There was suppressed fire in
his low, almost whispered words, a calm
confidence in his tones that was conta-
gious. There seemed to be no doubt, hest
tation or shrinking on his part, but, on
the contrary, an eagerness and joy that
the time was so near at hand

In the matter OF the estate OF CLANCY N Bush,
deceased.
The State of Minnesota and the said Probate
Court To all persons interested in the estate
of CLANCY N. Bush, deceased, Greeting:
Whereas, Lucas Troendle, of the county OF
Blue Earth, State of Minnesota, has
lately delivered to the Probate
Court of the County OF Blue Earth
State of Minnesota, an instrument in writing
purporting to be the last will and testament of
CLANCY N. Bush, late of said county, deceased,
and has applied to the said Pro-

Therefore you and each of you are cited

THE FIFTIETH CONGRESS.

The Nations lawmakers assembled at
noon Monday, thus entering upon a
long session of work in which much or
little can be accomplished-as may be
determined by those entrusted with the
grave responsibilities of caring for the
interests of 6O,OOO,OOO people. If this
congress shall accomplish much that is of
material advantage to the country it
will do that which has rarely been done
by ity predecessors during the year in
which national politics run at SO high a
pitch as presidential campaigns inaugur-
ate. One feature, however, which aug
urs well for an active business session is
the fact that both houses of congress are
very evenly divided, numerically speak
ing, there being on the face of the re-
turns l6S Democrats, 153 Republicans
and Independents in the House, and
80 Republicans, including Riddleberger.
of Virginia, and 81 Democrats in the
Senate. Should Riddleberger train
with the Democrats, which is unlikely,
the senate would be tie. From this
situation of affairs, therefore, it may be
expected that both parties will be put
on their good behavior, but whether OF
not any real valuable measures will be
passed no one can forecast.
The main questions to come before
Congress will be the tariff, the postal tel,
egraph, the restriction of immigration
and the usual appropriation bills. That
something should be done to reduce the
present and constantly increasing sur.
plus in the treasury is conceded by both
parties, but as the means with which tc
reach this end are looked at in such q
rarity of lights, and 80 many PROPOSE
tons will be advanced it is not improb-
able that when congress adiourns the
country will find nothing accomplished
toward stopping the flow of gold and
silver into the vaults,
But the only thing to do is to wait and
see what will be done.

medicine have ever handled in my 20
years experience, is Electric Bitters.''

eases of the Liver, Kidneys or Blood.
